Radio Smart Talk for Monday, February 20:

The legacy of the 42nd President of the United States is not one that's easily decided. Supporters of former President Bill Clinton may point out his involvement in several key policy decisions that shaped the course of the 1990s, such as the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the passage of welfare reform. But critics of Clinton are eager to bring up the sex scandal that eventually led to his impeachment and tarnished his image for many Americans. But what should the man be remembered for? And what did those close to him think about his decisions, both on the political stage and in his personal life?

To mark Presidents' Day, we'll talk with Michael Takiff, author of the biography, A Complicated Man: The Life of Bill Clinton as Told by Those Who Know Him. The book features interviews with several people who were familiar with the man who would become governor of Arkansas, and later, president, both before and after he was elected to public office.

We'll also hear about Clinton: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE, a new documentary about the former president, from its director and producer, Barak Goodman. Clinton: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE airs on witf-TV at 9pm on Monday, February 20th and at 8pm on Tuesday, February 21st.
